2019 Cotswold Chase Free Tips & Trends

Cheltenham Free Racing Tips

Run at Cheltenham racecourse – normally in the third week of January at their Trials Meeting – the BetBright Cotswold Chase is run over a trip of 3m 1 ½ furlongs. The race is deemed as another Cheltenham Gold Cup trial, but maybe only in name as the last horse to land both races in the same season was Master Oats back in 1995.

Did you know ……10 of the last 11 Cotswold Chase winners were aged 9 or 10 years-old?

Here at JuiceStorm we take a look back at past winners of the BetBright Cotswold Chase and give you all the stats that mater ahead of the 2019 renewal – this year run on Saturday 26th January.
